They potentially have 1st and 14th this year plus x2 second rounders. 2 picks next year. Plus a good prospect group already with klund, Smith, musty, muhk and bystedt.
Burns and Vlassic coming off the books in 2 years.
They will suck again but I imagine they will want to start building it back up again and won't be as bad as they were this year.

Once you pick in the top 3, that is when you should start planning around those players and reversing the cycle.
Picking 9th for us is just getting started, we should get a piece. If we get into the top 3 next season, that's when we can say ok we got a franchise piece to build around. That doesn't mean the end of the rebuild, or you start trading out picks for immediate help, but you can start looking at a window of getting it turned around.
